The people who sat at lunch counters did so with the express purpose of pressuring white liberals to take Civil Rights seriously and pass laws.
This is basic civil rights history. Christ.

That photograph is also not from the current supply-chain crisis, i remember seeing it on a Discord thread in 2018 in a meme about how people were leaving vegan stuff alone while panic buying before evacuating a hurricane.
Things homogeneity offers:
-No more race riots
-Reduce social division in society
-No worrying about being sensitive to other races
-Greatly reduced violent crime
-Higher trust amongst one another
-Politics, parties, are less divided amongst race, more focused on who is better
Reminds me of how back the late 80s a bunch of anarchists would try and stop the NYPD from cleaning up and renovating Tompkins Square Park in the East Village, which was full of homeless people and drug dealers at the time.
There's a bizarre strain of anarchism in America that--

I'm so old, I remember when mainstream Republicans claimed Clinton murdered Vince Foster without evidence, blamed evolution and birth control pills (and "modern liberalism" in general for Columbine, and called for Iraq War protestors to be jailed for "sedition" without trial.
It’s genuinely incredible that these people have brainwashed themselves into believing that living the most normal, suburban lifestyle the vast majority of Westerners live is “rebelling against modern culture.”
If there's a President that this reminds me of, it's Harry Truman.
He too was very unpopular for most of his Presidency but has since been vindicated by history.
"Biden's the most underrated POTUS in decades and yet he’s also at risk of suffering the most significant electoral loss in US history. The contradictory nature of his presidency is not simply troubling; it could lead to a crisis of historic proportions."

The worst thing about Chappelle nowadays isn't the decline in quality of his comedy, nor his dodging of criticism, or even his transphobic jokes.
It's his hypocrisy.

I would feel sorry for them, but, it's not like other trans people didn't warn them what TERFs are like.

@GriffLightning
But he downplays criticism from trans people who voice concern about transphobes laughing at the trans jokes for the wrong reason.
He's worried about black people being made fun of by racists but not about trans people being made fun of by transphobes. It's two-faced.

For real, the man went into exile for years because he was uncomfortable about that racists laughing at his comedy for the wrong reasons. Fair enough, Chris Rock stopped doing "Ni**as vs Black People," for the same reason.

There is nothing remotely historically literate about "trad" ideology.
It's a cargo cult for losers who blame women and LGBT for their own social ineptitude.
--sees drug addicts as noble and oppressed underdogs in need of liberation, and not deeply pathetic and broken people who need serious help in the form of an intervention--and who need to be separated from the general public because they can become dangerous without warning.

People who still think American schools teach history the way they did in the 1950s are so funny to me.
Yeah, no, I was taught about slavery and the Trail of Tears and the Palmer Raids and how those things clash with the values stated in the Declaration of Independence.

Maybe it was a mistake to treat mental illness as some kind of cute personality quirk.
Seriously, the amount of Leftist activists online who proudly display their "mental illnesses" as it were a status signifier is disgusting.
Yes, being socially ostracized in America for having appalling and offensive beliefs about a major historical atrocity is exactly being imprisoned without trial by the state of Iran for questioning the veracity of a religious figure.

Wild how they acted like Trump saying this was somehow one of his absurd Trumpism when Obama and Bush also gave them the exact same warning.
It’s the fifth biggest economy in the world and its social elite has convinced itself we’d all be better off as Jeffersonian yeoman and hunter gatherers.

It should be noted that prior to the 20th Century, Republicans didn't have any problems winning educated voters.
They embraced anti-intellectualism full force during the Bush years and have only doubled-down with each succeeding President.

She's oh-so-coy throughout the song.
She wants to have sex just as much as the man does, but she had to play hard to get because its the 1940s and proper women aren't supposed to want sex.
It’s incredible how dedicated the far-right is to pushing this completely fabricated narrative of there being mass outrage over this ad.
I have literally only seen outrage from right-wingers acting as though people were outraged over this.
This ad from McDonalds Japan has been causing a huge reaction online, because portraying a happy white family enjoying time together is now pretty much an act of hate speech the West. How far we have fallen - and how fast.
@AdversusN
It's probably just Lefties being performative radical again.
Back in the late 2010s they were railing against Starbucks as being the symbol of "late-stage capitalism" or "neoliberalism" or whatever.

It's hilarious how they think the people they're harassing and taking pictures of without their consent are the ones that the public is supposed to think are the predators.
The complete and utter collapse of Stephen Colbert’s comedic ability is a sterling example of this.
That man was once one of the funniest people in America. Now it’s hard to watch him without cringing. Even he looks ashamed of himself sometimes.
SNL has always skewed left, but there was a time liberals could make fun of the excesses of their own side. Plenty of liberals making fun of PC culture in the 90s and 00s.
Liberals lost their sense of humor after 2016, and started become super preachy and serious.

I love how, ten years after the fire alarm incident, Big Red still lives rent free in the minds of the Online Right.

They said this about James Holmes, the Aurora theater shooter, back in 2012. "How can a Med student with a part-time job afford expensive guns and bombs?"
Maybe he just used his student loans? I mean, it's not like he was planning on paying them back or anything.

It could have been shoplifting or vandalism or public drunkenness for all we know.

It's why the Left-Populists are mostly downwardly-mobile children of Upper-Middle Class privilege and Right-Populists are mostly Petite Bourgeois small business owners.

"It's so frustrating that people are actually reporting the vile things these people believe, say, and do, and aren't just portraying them as innocent protests for the liberation of a peaceful oppressed people like I want them to."
Postmodernism is wild. It's incredible that we live in a world where people can call themselves "populist" and "anti-elite" and praise the richest and most powerful man in the world for firing a bunch of white collar drudges essentially on a whim.
It’s incredible the extent in which the entire Free Palestine movement on our elite campuses has just gone completely mask off in the last few days.
One of the most disgusting things I’ve ever seen. We have a lot to answer for for turning a blind eye to student radicalism.
Seeing someone wax nostalgic about how the 1980s were a golden age when a blue-collar family could raise a child with the man working and the wife being a homemaker and I'm just gonna post this graph here because I'm so sick of Gen X rightoids and their Facebook memes.
I truly do not understand how angry and emotional people get when you tell them that their kids are not likely to be kidnapped from their safe neighborhood by strangers and sold for sex tourists.
Can someone who is a parent explain this to me?
@Noahpinion
It's wild how the last few months have basically been a speedrun of the 60s anti-Vietnam protests.
From 1965 style "give peace a stance" to 1968 style "Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh, the Viet Cong are gonna win" chants in record time.

17th Century Puritan Massachusetts having a higher life expectancy than Gilded Age New York is one of those factoids that sound completely absurd and impossible but are 100% true.

I'm guessing the Prime Minister of Japan isn't Japanese then. Never mind that being the leader of a major country would entail you to make trips outside of it, he should have factored that in when running for office that if he ever left Japan, he was forsaking his ethnicity.
